Because I Was an and He Threw Away 205

Chapter 205 Chance Meeting at the Park 

Emily was a doctor, so her comment carried some authority. 

[That cut on your finger looks pretty deep. You need to go to the hospital to get it cleaned and stitched up. If you get cut by something rusty, you’ll need a tetanus shot too. You really need to take this seriously.] 

After Emily posted the comment, she looked at the photo one more time. She was about to turn off her phone when she saw Alexander’s reply. 

Alexander: [Are you at the hospital? I’ll come find you to get it cleaned.] 

Emily didn’t read too much into it. 

If she had thought about it more carefully, she would have realized that someone like Alexander probably had a private doctor. Even if he didn’t, the people around him would care more about his safety than he did himself. And even if no one was around, he could just go straight to the hospital instead of asking for advice online. 

By the time he got an answer online, he would have already lost way too much blood.

Looking at Alexander’s message, Emily simply replied: [It’s the weekend so I’m not at the hospital. Just go to the ER when you get there and they’ll take care of you.] 

Alexander’s response came back quickly: [Never mind then. I’m not going to die from this.] 

Emily read that message and her frown deepened. She was about to try to convince him again when Molly called out to her. “Aunt Emily, are you ready yet?” 

The little girl was clearly getting impatient. 

Tomorrow was Monday and her homework still wasn’t done. 

Molly was a good student, so naturally she wanted to finish all her assignments perfectly and on time. 

Emily turned off her phone screen and smiled, “I’m ready. Let’s head out. We’ll go to the park.” 

Molly grabbed Emily’s hand. “Yay! Let’s go!” 

The two of them left Carter Manor together. Emily drove and took Molly to a nearby park. 

The fall colors in the park were beautiful and vibrant. It was perfect for kids to play in and also great for painting.

2/5 Once they got to the park, Molly ran around on the grass like

she’d been set free. She ran in circles and spun around. 

When she got tired, she plopped down on the ground.

Emily walked over and set up the easel. She handed Molly a brush and asked, “What do you want to paint?” 

Molly chewed on her pencil and thought about it for a moment. “I want to draw maple leaves,” she said. 

There was a maple tree nearby and fallen leaves covered the ground. A few had even blown over to where they were sitting. 

Emily sat down next to Molly. “Then go ahead and draw them,” she said. “You can draw whatever you want and then pick your favorite one to turn in to the teacher.” 

Molly grinned. “Aunt Emily, you’re the best. I really like you so 

much.” 

Emily’s chest tightened when she heard those words. She felt happy and sad at the same time. If she were just Molly’s aunt, she would only feel happy about it. But she wasn’t just that. She was also a mother, and her own daughter didn’t like her at all. 

While she was caught up in those thoughts, someone called out hesitantly from behind her. “Ma’am?” 

3/5, 

Emily turned around without thinking.

She saw Rebecca standing there and holding Sophia’s hand. Sophia was wearing a long dress with black leggings underneath and a pair of cute sneakers. Her hair was pulled into two ponytails and she was holding a few maple leaves. 

Emily’s throat tightened when she saw her daughter. Sophia just looked at her without saying anything or making any kind of gesture. 

Emily looked away after a moment and turned her attention to Rebecca instead. She smiled, “Rebecca, what a coincidence running into you here.” 

The park wasn’t exactly close to Joy Gardens, but it wasn’t too far away either. 

Rebecca’s face lit up when she saw Emily. “Ma’am, Ms. Sophia Wilson kept saying she was bored and she wanted me to take her out for a bit, so we came here. Since you and Molly are here too, why don’t we let her play with Molly?” 

Emily glanced at Sophia and saw that she didn’t seem to be against the idea. “Okay, sure,” she said quietly. 

Sophia didn’t throw a fit, but she didn’t look particularly happy about it either. 

Molly wasn’t thrilled when she heard Emily agree to let them play together, but she held back her complaints. She turned to 4/5

look at Sophia. “Sophie, have you done your drawing yet?” she asked curiously. 

Molly already didn’t like Sophia much at school, and she liked her even less now because of Emily. But Sophia was Emily’s daughter, so she figured she could put up with it. 

Sophia clutched her maple leaves and looked at Molly’s easel. She frowned. “Did the teacher assign us homework?” 

Molly frowned too. “Didn’t anyone tell you about the homework?” 

Sophia shook her head. “I didn’t know about it.” 

Molly pushed down the urge to scold her and explained instead. “The teachers made a parent group chat. They post the weekend homework there every week and then the parents are supposed to tell us about it so we can get it done. Nobody told you?”
